[Zlib-devel] patch author attribution

The git branch on github is working great. It's really to be able to
see the progress towards a new release as the work is being committed.

Mark, are you using git as your primary VCS now? Is the preferred
method of supplying patches a properly formatted git-format-patch now?

In any case, I'd like to suggest that you include proper author info
when committing normal patches that are sent to the list. For git
there is a distinction between the committer (you) and the author (the
patch submitter). The git command you can use is:

git commit --author "Maarten Bosmans <mkbosmans at gmail.com>"
